Amy Mastura: No need to persuade me to act, I'm always ready

Malaysian actress and singer Amy Mastura, 55, expressed her unwavering passion for acting, stating she doesn't choose directors or production houses before accepting a role. "I never set any conditions. I'm fine working with anyone, and sometimes I don't even ask about the character I'll be given," she said. Mastura believes that if a production company approaches her, it's because they trust her ability to portray the character.

"No need to persuade me to act in dramas because I'm always 'on.' I will only reject an offer if it conflicts with my existing schedule," she explained. "If there's an opportunity, I'll offer myself, 'take me, take me,'" she added with a laugh during a media session for the drama series 'Ate Kome I Love You'.

Reflecting on her over three-decade career, the 1993 Asia Bagus champion in Tokyo noted the industry's evolution, particularly in technology and on-set atmosphere. "Young actors on set are all cheerful, just like I was when I first started acting," she said. "The difference is that work processes are much easier now because technology has advanced. Cameras are lighter and smaller."

She recalled the past challenges, where forgetting lines or making mistakes required re-shooting entire scenes due to expensive and irreplaceable recording tapes. "Now, if you make a mistake, you can delete and re-record. Everything is much easier than before," Mastura observed.
